Which value for x would make the perimeter of this rectangle equal 48 inches

Mathematics
1 answer:
RSB [31]2 years ago

Answer:

L = 16; W=8: are the correct values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with 2 math statements:

First, for the perimeter:  2W x 2L = 48

Then, for the area:  W x L = 128

Next, we want to take the 2nd equation; then solve it for "W"

W x L = 128

Divide out both sides by "L", to get the "W" equals:

W = 128/L

Next, go back to the first equation.  Where it indicates "W", put in the value of:  128/L in its place; to get:

2L + 2*(128/L) = 48; which gives us:

2L + 256/L = 48

Multiply everything by "L", to get:

2L2 + 256 = 48L

Next, divide out everything by 2, to get:

L2 + 128 = 24L

Next, move the 24L over to the left, to get:

L2 - 24L + 128 = 0

(L-16)* (L-8) = 0

L-16 = 0; L-8 = 0

Which gives us:  L=16; L=8

Let's go with the L=16 first; back into the original equation:

f(16) = 2*16 + 2W = 48

32 + 2W = 48

-=32         -32

2W = 16

Divide out both sides by 2, to get:

W = 8

Next, test our values, by plugging them back into both original equations:

2*16 + 2*8 = 48

32 + 16 = 48        [Check]

L x W = 128

16 * 8 = 128

128 = 128          [Check]

1.A bag has 4 green blocks, 3 red blocks, 2 blue blocks, and 1 yellow block. Find the probability of randomly selecting a block
maks197457 [2]

Answer: 1) 7/10  2) 15  3) 240  4) 1/4  5) 4/9  6) 1/20  7) No, not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4 green+3red+2blue+1yellow = 10 total

if 3/10 are red, then 7/10 are not red. So the second option, 7/10

2. 3 cartons in every 40

40*5 = 200

so do 3*5 = 15

so 15 or the third option

3. 40 out of 110

110*6 = 660

so do 40*6 = 240

so 240 or the fourth option

4.

Flipping heads: 1/2

rolling even: well, there is 2, 4, and 6, or 3 even numbers so 3/6 or 1/2

do 1/2*1/2 = 1/4

so 1/4 or the third option

5. Numbers more than 2: 3, 4, 5, 6 (4 numbers)

4/6 or 2/3 chance the first time, 2/3 chance the second time

do 2/3*2/3 = 4/9

so 4/9 or the second option

6. 5 dishes and 4 desserts

1/5 chance of picking the dish

1/4 chance of picking the dessert

do 1/5*1/4 = 1/20

so 1/20 or the fourth option

7. Since you don’t replace the marble after picking it, it affects the outcome of the second draw. Therefore the events are dependent, or not independent. So the second option.

If 12y=75+5x+2x-1. What is the value of x
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

x = \frac{12y - 74}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

12y = 75 + 5x + 2x - 1

combine like terms:

12y = 74 + 7x

subtract 74 from both sides:

7x = 12y - 74

divide both sides by 7:

x = \frac{12y - 74}{7}
